[Mapserver-users] PDF problems

[William K]

I thought I'd look into PDF output and found a few problems.  I'm aware 
of the alternate method of generating a high-resolution png and using 
PHP to generate the PDF, but I find the PDF output quality works fine.

- pattern fills don't work.  Whether it's a raster png pattern or 
vector pattern, in the PDF it's a solid color fill.

- point symbols - for png symbols, the transparency is ignored.  vector 
symbols work fine.

- line symbols - dashes don't work, it ends up as a solid line in the 
PDF.

Any plans or solutions to fix these issues? (besides the PNG method)

Theory of the Universe

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly 
what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly 
disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarrely 
inexplicable.  There is another theory which states that this has 
already happened.
